What Epic has confirmed
Epic’s season announcement from October 30 told players to “keep Saturday, December 5, open” for “an unforgettable Chapter 7 end event”. That is the end of Chapter 7, not only of the mini-season.
Epic’s fortnite crew post from November 4 adds three more things for the same day:
- A new Fortnite Battle Pass and a LEGO Mini-Pass start on December 5.
- The OG Pass ends on December 5 with the end of Chapter 1: OG Season X. Epic says the next era of Fortnite OG comes in late 2027.
- Fortnite Crew changes on December 5. See our Fortnite Crew changes page.
What is not confirmed
- The time of the end event. Epic has not announced it. For comparison, the Chapter 7 Season 2 finale, Shattered, ran on Friday, June 5, 2026 at 7 PM ET, as Epic announced on May 29.
- The name and start of Chapter 8. A new Battle Pass on December 5 points to a new season starting that day or right after. Epic has not named it. Leakers say Chapter 8 starts on December 5. Treat that as unconfirmed until Epic says it.
- Downtime. Season launches usually come with a few hours of server downtime. Epic posts the times on status.epicgames.com and in its Fortnite Status account.
